Death notice for the town of: Cobourg, Province: Ontario
Dear Carole and Karen,
Just heard about your Dad and I’m certainly thinking of you.
Your Dad was a very distinguished man with an unforgettable smile and was the type of person you would automatically like. – just like you two.
I remember how proud he was of you when he came in for report cards no matter what I tried to tell him. 🙂
Living beside Brown Shoe he was very good to me and my property.
I enjoyed our visit at the reunion,Carole,and was so glad to hear your Dad lived ‘close’ to family.That is so important.
Again,I will be thinking of you because I know how difficult it is to lose a loved one.
TAKE CARE
My mother and I very sad to learn of your Dad’s passing. My mother devastated to lose a good friend when your mum died and I know it gave her great comfort to be able to call your dad from time to time. We all have fond memories of great family times especially at Christmas and around the pool in the summer. Your Dad was a man of great warmth and intelligence. He will be very much missed . We are sorry that we will not be able to come to the visitation on Saturday but you will all be in our thoughts.
